Does this keyboard use a USB wire or is ti wireless?

Because I don't have wireless installed on my computer so a wireless keyboard would be a waste. Otherwise, this looks like a nice replacement for my 10yo PS/2 keyboard. I am not sure after reading the info and the pic seems to show an antenna.😕

Looks like it's corded.

(On a related note, when I've gotten a wireless keyboard, it came with all the dongles it needed - nothing had to already be present on my computer.)

Look at the reviews:

In terms of connections, the cable from the keyboard has a USB connector on the end, but if you need to use PS2 there is an adapter included in the box.

The love for Dennil is too strong for wrong forum postings to stop!

I thought most current keyboards do that!

I think you need to:

1. Learn the difference between wireless networking and wireless peripherals.
2. Post in the correct forum.
3. Stop scaring the children.

Op asked if it was wireless and this shows what it is.

Thanks people. 🙂 I posted here because I needed a fast answer (the deal is only for today) and OT has a lot more traffic. Gonna order it right now.

So you admit to breaking the rules on purpose then? Have a fun vacation.

OK. I walked to the Canada Computers store 5 minutes from where I live and they sold it to me for $1 more (but I saved on shipping and handling). The guy on cash had major problems with arithmetics. Total with tax was $18.41. I gave him $20.51 and he had to use a calculator and still got the answer for my change ($2.10 for goodness sake) wrong twice.
